Katie Price (born Katie Infield, May 22, 1978), is a British glamour model and television star, commonly known as Jordan. She is renowned for her multiple breast augmentations, and her flamboyant personal life is regularly featured in British tabloids and celebrity-based magazines. Her behaviour and lifestyle are often questioned, and even she describes herself as "famous for being famous". She is considered by some to be England's equivalent to Pamela Anderson or Paris Hilton.

Life and career

---

Born in Newport Wales, but Price grew up in the seaside town of Brighton in Sussex. She took that surname after her mother remarried following the split from her biological father when she was just a child. Price has an older brother called Daniel and a younger sister, Sophie.

Her decision to start modeling came after a friend suggested she have some professional photographs done. The pictures were sent to a modeling agency in London, and to her amazement, the agency invited her into their studios for a photo shoot and to discuss a contract. Within weeks she began appearing on 'Page 3' of the The Sun newspaper (topless modeling). It was at this time that she assumed the name 'Jordan'.

As her career began to blossom, Jordan embarked on several brief relationships with celebrities and sports stars including footballers Teddy Sheringham, and Dwight Yorke, and a more serious relationship with the TV Gladiator 'Ace' (real name Warren Foreman). Despite Jordan's declaration of love for the Gladiator star, the relationship didn't last. Jordan has subsequently attributed the break-up to Warren's severe jealousy of all the male attention she received.
